HTML Tag Stripper

Paste HTML markup and get the visible text only. Tags, scripts and styles are dropped, paragraph breaks are preserved by default, and runs of whitespace are collapsed. Useful for extracting article body from a CMS export, sanitising input for SEO copy, or pulling text from email templates.

How it works

We parse the input with the browser's DOMParser, drop script, style and noscript tags, replace block elements with newlines (when the toggle is on) and read the resulting textContent. A regex fallback runs if DOMParser is unavailable, so the tool works in every environment.

How to use it

  1. Paste the HTML markup

    Drop in a copy from a CMS, an email template, an RSS item, or scraped HTML. Tags, scripts and styles are dropped together.

  2. Toggle paragraph breaks

    On preserves block-level breaks (paragraphs, headings, list items) so the output reads as paragraphs, not one giant blob.

  3. Strip to plain text

    DOMParser parses the input, drops script/style/noscript, and reads textContent. A regex fallback runs if DOMParser is unavailable.

  4. Copy the readable text

    Take the plain text into a word counter, a translation pipeline, an alt body for an email, or an SEO meta description.
